Chapter 417: The City
No matter how small the size is, the base value of the race is clearly there, and it is still very strong when it is not compared to itself;
As mentioned before, their physical strength and ability at the moment are even stronger than those of the early elves, and they will still have a non-negligible impact on the surroundings under crazy play;
Therefore, as far as the eye can see, the surrounding area of several thousand meters can be said to be a mess, with deep and shallow potholes and thick and thin trees that have been cut off by the waist can be seen everywhere;
In addition, there are explosive boulder fragments, which rise up everywhere like knives stuck upside down in the ground
In those pits, the larger and shallower ones are the traces of their wrestling with each other not long ago, and the small and deep ones are the remnants of running and jumping;
Stepping on the ground again and again, falling and getting up again and again, creating pieces of land with obvious drops in a large area;
The turf on it is like a bald hairstyle, missing a piece of stubble in the east and west, and it is matched with the broken trees and sharp stone chips, or densely or sporadically dotted in different areas.
Therefore, after the joke, the Giant Fang and his party must first clean up the damage they have caused before leaving, otherwise the five travelers will face corresponding punishment
First of all, fines are inevitable;
Secondly, in more serious cases, the image of the offender will be hung in the virtual realm, and the whole channel will be circulated and criticized covering the territory of the Republic;
Finally, if the area and degree of damage exceed a certain limit, then the criminal detention and labor reform is the inevitable punishment, and the corresponding individual will be forcibly sent to the target star to manually carry out the environmental modification project in his real body, and the specific punishment period will be comprehensively judged by the intensity of the destruction, the cause and effect, and the level of malice.
Of course, it is rare for anyone to be sentenced heavily by this rule, after all, there are very few vandals, and it is very convenient to make amends after the fact;
Therefore, as long as we are more conscious, we will not be reduced to the level of circulating criticism, or even having to be detained for re-education through labor.
In addition, the cost of proactively reporting the repair is much less than the amount of the fine, and even if there is a case, everyone will take care of the aftermath on the spot, so even the lowest level of fines and punishments are rarely triggered.
For example, when Giant Tooth revoked his residence on the home planet grassland, the land would be restored to an ecological zone soon after due to the change of use information, and Giant Tooth was obliged to take the initiative to restore the local ecology within the specified period, otherwise it would be included in the list of 'more serious damage' and face the punishment of fines and criticism;
The giant tooth applied for restoration on the spot, and finally only paid the most basic ecological restoration fee, and this is usually the most common choice.
Now, too, the five elves completed their application before leaving, and then left only after all traces of destruction were gone
Different from the parent star, 1-6 are acquired migration stars under the cover of ecological transformation and maintenance arrays, and the companion array is naturally professional and swift in repairing such traces;
There is no need to dispatch a special flight unit to carry out relevant operations nearby, as in the case of the parent star, but can quietly carry out everything from the companion star above the orbit, the transformation star core at the center of the earth, and the regional branch equipment, as if a god is invisibly modifying the rules.
In the eyes of the Giant Fangs, the traces of destruction were completely erased for a fairly short period of time, as if they had never appeared
The giant tree seems to exist only in the record of the illusory scenery, in a burst of rewinding changes quickly re-established, and even healed the wound and restarted its own vitality;
In addition, the ubiquitous potholes have disappeared, the bald lawn has returned to its former luxury, and the innaturally formed inverted stone knives have disappeared.
"No matter how many times I look at it, I think it's great, and the Ecostar Project really seems like a job that only gods can do."
Looking at this scene, Giant Fang couldn't help but sigh like this.
"Isn't it the great cause of the gods, and the power used in the process is also the divine power of faith, I smell the smell of the divine power of the natural side from the inside~"
"Haha, the created gods? It's also quite interesting. ”

Whether it is the elves or the continent races, by this time they no longer use the traffic vehicles that rely on friction to move forward, so there is basically no such thing as a 'highway' in the various ecological stars;
In fact, it is not only the highways, but even the orbital network that was once densely packed on the home planet has withdrawn from the application stage, and has given way to the new era of transportation along with the old veins such as highways.
Although in principle, the application of anti-gravity technology is still the most popular in the field of transportation, but it is quite different from the past.
Nowadays, they no longer need the cooperation of ground facilities to operate freely, and whether it is speed, carrying capacity, traction, or stability, etc., there is a huge gap from the past;
As a result, all kinds of gravity-defying heavy transport ships galloped in the sky at a distance of thousands of meters, not only with ultra-high speed far higher than the previous surface transportation system, but also with a carrying capacity far beyond the previous air transportation lines, one by one like a Leviathan with a science fiction engine soaring in the sky;
At low altitudes and even close to the ground, there are large and small vehicles that do not know whether to define as aircraft or vehicles, undertaking different missions such as carrying passengers and freight in their respective fields.
In this way, there is naturally no need for the new intercity transportation network, and even the once existing highway and track facilities have been withdrawn from the stage;
Along the latter line, a large amount of land has been returned to the bosom of nature, and has been transformed from construction land into a dwelling place for greenery, animals, and monster populations;
As a result, even in areas close to the city, the ecology is no longer divided by creation, but has become a natural area that can be connected.
In the midst of the singing of birds and flowers, the giant fangs were riding in a newly purchased wheelless vehicle, galloping in the direction of the city at an altitude of about 100 meters above the ground.
The five elves maintained a height of four or five meters, and their bodies were still not wide, plus they were carrying the armored sealed box on the road together, and their car on the surface naturally could not be too small;
Roughly speaking, it is about 60 meters long, 25 meters high, and 30 meters wide on the front face.
The front 40% is the passenger cabin, the back 60% is the cargo compartment, the giant tooth and others sit in the front half to enjoy the scenery along the way, and the armored dimorphic sealed box is placed in the back half.
Although it is still large overall, the fact that some of them are already very good to sit on, after all, it has not been a real surface vehicle for decades
Fortunately, interstellar space is fine, and when you are in the home star, you usually have to squeeze into a cargo spaceship-like capsule to take the orbital path, otherwise you can basically rely on yourself to fly to various destinations on the surface.
Therefore, they especially enjoyed this moment of relaxation, not to increase the speed but to fly slowly, and along the way also opened the canopy to feel the breeze on their faces.
~~~
The target is the giant city located on the coast of the Eastern Continent, which is also the largest elven city in this immigrant planet, and there are about three million compatriots living in it;
Compared to the cities of the tribes, which often have more than 10 million mouths, these 3 million elves obviously don't sound too much, but in fact, the two are not the same.
This city, or the vast majority of elven cities today, is the product of being built in the 'era of tens of meters in size', and the objects it serves are naturally these large elves;
Therefore, a city with 3 million elves is actually much more magnificent than a city with a population of 10 million in terms of space.
Although they do not directly pass down the earth for kilometers and extend upwards to low-earth orbit like the giant city of the home planet, the intertwined existence of tens of thousands of large and small floating buildings still presents a magnificent picture in the far sky;
In particular, when you find a special angle in the sky to look out in, the scenery of the six cities standing in all directions will be a baptism of vision and even soul.
But this baptism seems to have only worked on the people of all races, and the Giant Fang has just climbed to the highest point by the way to experience it, but there are not many soul-shaking sensations that have been generated;
So, after each of them shouted 'Void ~ but so', they began to return, and now they are about to return to the starting point '1-6-1'.
'1-6-1' is the common name of the city registered in the kingdom, but it seems to be called the 'city of giant trees' in the mouths of the rest of the people, because at night the lights are faintly connected in a line, and when seen from a distance, it looks like a giant tree stretching its branches.
The first feeling when you enter the city is 'too big', not only for outsiders like the Giant Fangs, but also for the long-term residents of the city;
The time of its founding is much earlier than the appearance of the posture control technique, so the internal and external scale is benchmarked by the elves who are often tens of meters away, and there is no place inside such as buildings, streets and other things that cannot be marked with the word 'giant'.
However, times have changed, and today's elves generally choose to live in small sizes, so at this moment, when the Giant Fang and they drive the vehicle through the buildings, they can have the illusion that they are insects in the strong contrast between the huge and the small.
I have to say that the new technique has changed a lot of things, and after the body size is reduced, it has also successively generated the need for shrinkage with transportation, residence, and even the living environment;
Otherwise, these cities designed for big guys over 50 meters, as well as the various facilities in them, and even the terminal equipment for individuals, are really too big for the elves at this moment.
Therefore, for the sake of convenience, either the residents should be re-shaped to adapt to the city itself, or the overall size of the city should be reduced to adapt to the choices of the residents
In fact, it is not difficult to choose, the ecological star is a place for the elves to rest and communicate in reality, during which convenience and livability are the first pursuit of planning here;
In the past, there was no way, but now there is no need to let the perfect state elves like radiation sources walk in the ecological star when the conditions are improved;
As for the advantages of the ontology in terms of cultivation and safety, the former can be pursued in the right place in the cultivation star, while the latter can also be sought in the orbital defense base.
There are many advantages of this choice, the first is that the urban space will be sharply reduced, no longer in order to reduce the area of the city continue to expand up and down, and the strength requirements of building materials can also be greatly reduced, after all, the actual demand for load-bearing and other aspects will also fall off a cliff;
On the other hand, a city that runs down for a kilometer into the earth and then up to low-earth orbit will look extremely magnificent and magnificent even if it seems to live in;
But at the same time, the amount of energy and material required is also huge, and it is not very convenient to go up and down, and it is also one of the factors that isolate the communication between the elves and the races.
In comparison, the shrunken elf + traditional plane city will be more in line with the needs, whether it is convenience, energy consumption, or building materials, etc., it has unparalleled advantages;
The previous body type prevented the emergence of such cities, but now there is no such restriction, so it is natural to be comfortable and reasonable.
At the same time, this is invisibly in line with the national policy, and is considered to be a camouflage that needs to be made before the era of the great river system
Therefore, the cities on 1-6 have recently initiated a discussion on whether to reduce the size of the city to adapt to the new era, and the discussion has been approved by the vast majority of long-term residents.
Its work efficiency is also very high, from the project is proposed, to the initiation of a big discussion, and then to the virtual unified decision-making, the whole process does not take too long;
Before they could even digest the content of the Giant Fangs from afar, the six elven cities here reached a unity of opinion within themselves, made the decision to reduce the size of the city and return the city to a flat surface, and immediately submitted an overall plan to the central body of the kingdom in the name of 'community and individual aggregation'.
~~~~~
For the country, the elf city is a relatively special existence, because the internal governance system of the republic actually only has three rings, namely the elf individual, the basic community, and the final general center of the country, and there is obviously no place that belongs to the city
Whether it is a super-large three-dimensional city, a small border town like an urban-rural junction, or a community aggregate above the track, or even a single community that is not aggregated into a city, it is actually a by-product of the basic community in the three-ring system, and it is an aggregate formed by the aggregation of some communities after choosing to aggregate by themselves;
This kind of product is not qualitative, it may continue to exist as a city for 50 or 100 years, or it may be that for one reason or another, everyone chooses to gather and disperse, and then the next day it becomes a small country town with only a few communities left.
Because of this, there is no management system connection between large and small cities and the center of the country, and generally speaking, the management of the center is directly connected to the basic community and even the elf individuals, and the large and small cities that are scattered like this are managed by the aggregation units themselves.
The management of the local government is also very simple, applying for computing power from the center in the community or individual unit, and carrying part of the consciousness of each individual to form a 'imitation thinking aggregation';
This aggregation may be called either the 'mayor' or the 'autonomous council', and is responsible for the internal coordination of the existing large and super-large bases, and most of the powers and responsibilities are concentrated in the economy, urban construction, and the environment, while the central government is directly controlled by the central government in the formulation of laws, the enforcement of laws and regulations, and the security and defense of other aspects.
In this situation, the six cities here naturally have no subordinate relationship, and the small and medium-sized strongholds above and below the orbit are also parallel to them, and there are no continental-level or planetary-level government agencies upwards, nor do they exist super-autonomous bodies of similar scale
